Has anybody else had problems with Turbo C++ 3.0 with the Dos Protected Mode
Interface (DPMI) on their computers?  When I try to run the IDE (TC.EXE), it
says that it can't find my computer configureation for DPMI in it's database
and to run dpmiinst.exe to configure for my computer.

So, I run dpmiinst, and it goes for a while, then at the top of my screen it
says something to the effect of "RAM PARITY ERROR: CHECKING MEMORY SEGMENT",
and then "OFFENDING SEGMENT: 0000".  Now, I've never gotten a parity error
since I've had the computer.  Another interesting thing is that a friend of mine
who has the same system (basically) that I do got the same message.  We both
have a CompuAdd 286/12 w/ 1 meg ram.  I'm wondering whether it's the brand
of computer, the cpu, or really a RAM error.   Has anyone else experienced this
problem with TC++ 3.0?

Thanks....

I do not know how it is with TC++ 3.0 , I'm using BC++ 3.0 and that
one refuses to run when I have less than 1 Mb of extended ram free.
This means it simply won't run on your computer. Perhaps the same
problem occurs here.
